I hate this too..whenever I post any label stuff on boards I specifically ask for people to email and they NEVER do. I guess "email" is really read
"reply in this thread" so I have to check 20 boards to get my replies (or worse, they use private messages and give me yet ANOTHER spot to check). For
this reason I try to make sure I reply to ALL my emails as quickly as possible to promote the email usuage, but sometimes with all the junk in my box
stuff falls through the cracks.
